Karen Walters’ latest piece consists of a revolution of 5 sculptured Rimu forms which hang out from the wall creating a sense of depth, movement, light and shadow.

When you look at the artwork in a clockwise direction each sculpted form appears as a stylised feather, then when you look at it in an anticlockwise direction each form appears as a stylised bird in flight, and finally when you look at the empty white space in the centre you see the stylized shape of a flower. Hence, Karen has named this piece ‘Love Birds.’

‘Love Birds’ is symbolic of love – love for someone, love for nature, love for freedom. It exudes strong positive energy while being sculpted out of exquisite and resilient Rimu – rescued and revived after falling in the Christchurch earthquakes.
